Apparently, there are a lot of Herohammer fans about. That cure is worse than the disease. As I have been maintaining from when the 8th edition came out, there needs to be this change: randomising template attacks between monster and mount. In addition, a good general will use tactics, for instance like KevinC 's cannon defence. -----------I think a very big and simply fix to 8th edition cannons is this: randomization for rider and mount, like it use to be. 5+ cannon ball hits rider, 1-4 monster hit, but not both.

Second if you spend a month painting you want to be able to field it. Personally I rather have cheaper and less destructive mounts.

This is the way I still play. And me, the 8th Edition rules allowing you to one-shot rider and mount with one hit are ridiculous.

However, I refuse to allow cannons to prevent me from fielding units I like. For my Goblin army, my general is almost always on a chariot (often Grom himself), a Gigantic Spider, a Wyvern, or an archanarok spider. I know the risks but I do my best to play the odds against the cannon(s) (as described here: Cannon Defense ).

I very much like taking my Beastlord on a chariot but when I do, I inevitably have a Wargor on one too, as well as a couple of ghorgons and normal chariots (and chalice of dark rain). Target saturation!

Oh my. Oh yay. Hoopla! Where? The icon of a Skull with Three Lightning Bolts for hair?? That's Chaos Dwarf insignia from ages ago methinks. I am preparing to start my Chaos Dwarf army in a few weeks. If the new/old story picks up in the east, we'll have Kislev skirmishing with Hobgoblins Wolf Riders, right? That's right in the backyard of the Chaos Dwarfs. Very cool.

In addition to the recent rumours found by KevinC I've discovered an interesting leak on BoLS: www.belloflostsouls.net/2021/11/warhammer-the-old-world-rumors-timeline-whispers.html“I have some (not so positive” Rumors) about Warhammer – The Old War… As said in an earlier mail, there will be no miniature previews before mid 2022. Model Ranges are already in the Work, but the most progressing Part of the Reboot is the Backstory and the Freerooms they have because the different timeline. Early Factions for the Game will be no brainers and all time community favs like the Empire, Orcs and Goblins, Dwarfs and Chaos. Those factions are focused the most but others are in the work, but do not expect Cathay or other niche factions too early, those will need years after the reboot to come to light. Release could be Summer 2023, but that Date isn’t finally set. Covid brought more trouble for GW than everyone believes…” If this is true, we'll still be in for a long, near-painful slog. To be honest I think GW's just taking their time with it for whatever reasons they have rather than it being due to COVID, they're certainly in no rush to treat us to much in any way interesting yet. I just hope they release stuff for it with decent regularity, unlike poor Aeronautica Imperialis... Also unrelated to the article but related to TOW, I had a chat about it with one of the staff at my nearest GW yesterday and he mentioned there are rumours that there's going to be a new plastic Horus Heresy starter set coming at some point, with a second wave of plastic sets for it after the original 2015-16 wave, which bodes well for TOW if true, as maybe we'll just see the named characters and special stuff in resin. I sincerely hope so for the sakes of our wallets.

Well I believe 2023 was within the original release time scoop. People forgets how long time it takes to create a game professionally.
Also isn’t 2023 perfect for some kind of anniversary for WFB? 40years?
In the end of 19 they wrote at least 3 years away probably more.

Well that sinks the theory that they were trying to line it up with Warhammer TW 3 then.

Not much negative in that if it is true, which as always with these kind of things I am doubtful.
Miniature previews next summer is way earlier then I am expecting.

I seriously doubt it'll be good . Sadly, GW is only interested in one thing - "buy our brilliant miniatures!". They now look toward "the big dudes" - look at their releases since 2014 - one fraction of super-uber-heroes (Space Marines - ahem - StormcastEternals) and further only monsters (and scenery/terrain/spell models) for all. Rest of new fractions (AoS) have very bad (poor) model range. Damn, all rostets now are something about a)3-4 big dudes (Great daemons/dragons/stonehorns/giants, underline whatever applicable) and some squishy weaklings (core. Say, 3 units of 5-10) or b)simply "ctrl+C" - a lot of lot of identical dudes. Pfff About starters...I think they'll just repack most of old boxes. Likely they are just replace oval bases with square ones. Tomb kings, Bretonnia...they were discontinued at all. No, GW just put aside it. For Old world. New boxes are likely to be released just as with current Combat patrols/Start collectings. With subsequent "Big-and-scary [overpowered] guy". It'll be slap-dash, at best P.S. Excuse my maybe excessive pessimism and anger, mates . And any linguistic mistakes, of course.
